The use of big data makes it easier to drill down or view more detailed information, which will enable the nurse to see specifics about the situation that can then be shared. Sample surveys may not provide enough information or accurate information if the wrong population is questioned. To drill up big data is to see the data in an aggregate view, which would possibly not provide enough specific information to make an informed decision. Reviewing the EHRs may not provide enough information if the individuals in question are using other facilities outside the local community being questioned.
